Why a WT?
We’ve a steadily growing community—we’re now 494 members! Welcome to all of you :)—but we still lack momentum.
The idea is to encourage more participation by sharing a weekly theme. This just an invitation and you’re more than welcome to comment about anything else (related to journaling), or to start your own thread ;)
Also: do you think we should do something to celebrate the 500th... if we manage to get there?
This week theme: What do you do you when you finish a journal?
Do you have any special rituals, or do you just start a new one?
Obviously, the question concerns pen and paper journalers more than digital users but don’t hesitate to comment as a digital user too! Explain us how you manage switching app (or if you don't switch and only use one, like I used to do when I used DayOne), or if you lack the emotion of finally filling the very last page of a notebook and starting a new one? Or if there is no emotion associated with that?
Edit: once again, I used my non-admin account to post this weekly thread. Silly me. Feel free to petition and demand a less amateurish admin if you feel like it's needed. I won't protest :p
If the pages don't have any lines, how do keep your text straight? If I write on paper without any guides, my text is always crooked. I have a small spiral bound notebook with little dots on the pages as guides.
It's a question of practice, like it really becomes a habit: I write the first line using the top of the page as guide and then the other lines follow along the previous ones.
Also, I don't worry too much about my lines being perfectly straight, it's part of my journal. Like a sketch not being perfect.
